Romney supports Obama's decision to lobby for Olympics [says Obama is "leader" of US]
KSL-TV NBC 5 Salt Lake City, Utah ^ | 2009-09-29

SALT LAKE CITY -- Former Massachusetts governor and head of the 2002 Olympic Organizing Committee Mitt Romney says President Obama is doing exactly what needs to be done by flying to Denmark to lobby for the Olympics to come to Chicago in 2016.

Romney tells ABC News that having a sitting president make a personal pitch can make an enormous difference to the 106 members of the International Olympic Committee.

"I think the people in the IOC want to understand the level of the commitment of the host country," Romney said. "Does the host country really care? Is this going to be a high priority? And nothing says that like having the presence of the leader of that country and, particularly, the case of Barack Obama."

I remember during the campaign that while I said I thought Romney was a good man I just could not support him but could not put my finger on exactly why. Now I know...thanks to Romney himself.

I’m waiting for the video of Romney, McCain, and other RINOs saluting Obama and getting down on their knees for him.

Can someone photoshop Carmen Maranda with the Fruit Salad Hat with Romney's Face? With hits that keep coming like this, he deserves it.

Ask and thou shall receive...lol

Isn’t it floating around that Valerie Jarrett was going to benefit through her land ownings in Chicago for the Olympics???? Maybe someone should tell the Rino he is backing a stopped up toilet...

My guess is that Chicage ain’t got a chance,and after that brutal killing of that child, not a city that I would want to be in.
Obama’s presence will kill the deal except his ego want believe it.
Another excuse to ride on Air Force One to nowhere and do nothing.

Exactly. I like Mitt for the most part, and he did a great job pulling the SLC Olympics together. But personally, I think the Olympics have turned into a pile of rotten commercial-political garbage, and that the federal government should have nothing whatsoever to do with the Olympics. All over the world, including in the US, the Olympics have become an opportunity for corrupt politicians to trample citizens’ basic rights. And when the US participates in the Olympics in Communist or other totalitarian nations, we ending up aiding and abetting those governments’ public relations prorrams, and pushing our athletes (often young and naive) into participating in this deceptive showcasing of totalitarian governments.

These threads aren't nearly as much fun as they used to be since most if not all Mitt worshipers crawled back into the wood work.

I think that says everything about Romney that we to know. We certainly know that he thinks gov’t health care is good since he foisted on Massachusettes. I wonder if he’s planning to defect to dems because he knows his RINO views will not get him elected dog catcher.

I think he’s sucking up to the Onader.

With all that needs to be done in this country to get people back to work, The Marxist Onada is personally lobbying for the Olympics. Sheesh.

To many Chicago business people, bringing the Olympics to Chicago was the #1 real reason for supporting OBama. If Obama can deliver, then these Chicago business people will support in whatever he wants to do.

There were two people I thought were despicable Obama sycophants in the 2008 election: Romney...and McCain.

We would have won with virtually any other candidate than either of those two. We got McCain, but Romney would have been as bad and wouldn’t have won either. And he’d probably now be a czar under Bambi.

Not the leader of the US.

Not the leader of the government of the US.

Not the leader of the federal government of the US.

Merely the leader of the Executive branch of the federal Government.

Lesson ended.
